"Indeed I did, General. And from the other ladies as well, who had similarly borne a Malan child. Were you aware that all the army – uh – "volunteers" – were rewarded with a million dollars for their service to the nation?"
"Umm ... no sir. I was not aware of that fact."
"There was a lady from the RAF who also took part, and she was similarly recompensed by the USA."
"Is that so, sir?"
"It is, General Mackenzie. When it comes to our USAF officer – the one who disappeared to Rehome – she has received no compensation whatsoever, plus was required to bring up the alien child for the last five years as well, under extreme restricted circumstances at air bases.
"No matter how she left your control, General – the "your" being a generic term for the military – she has been ill-used by her service for the past five years. Now that she has come away from USAF control, courtesy of The Personalia who offered to help her, she apparently feels she has a legal case against the USAF.
"I am informed that the Colony of Rehome,, where she now lives, is prepared to cover all her costs of litigation in raising an action against her employers, for a breach of her human rights under the UN Charter.
"As such, I feel I should warn you that the United Nations sees this as an important example, worthy of the UN's support, so we shall be offering any legal assistance that Lieutenant Price requires to bring it to court."
General Mackenzie had begun by being belligerent, then merely upset, than more cautious, so he commented, "Is this a done deal, sir, or is there room for manoeuvre?"
"I see what you are getting at, General. Allow me to explore the possibilities with her and the Governor of Rehome. However, if a financial sum in compensation was offered to the woman, that might go a long way to defuse the situation, and I and the Governor might be able to dissuade her from proceeding with what might be a lengthy and very public case."
The General could see the way things were going. He had endured politicians putting pressure on him, and was savvy about responding.
"Mister Secretary-General, from what you tell me, there has been laxity in the supervision of certain programs within the USAF. If I confirm what you say, I would expect the US Treasury to be generous in compensating the lady for her ill-treatment. Was there anything else?"
"Actually, General, there is the small matter of her departure from military service. It would not be advisable for her to be declared AWOL, or otherwise accused of deserting her post. It would be much preferable for her to have resigned her commission – albeit suddenly – and be granted a good conduct discharge to help her with any future employment she may seek.
"Do you agree that this would be a wise course of events? You see, her daughter may also have a case for abuse of her rights – one cannot call them "human" rights, but rights as the child of her human mother. The various "experiments" conducted on the child over several years were tantamount to abuse. The child is now old enough to be able to talk about what was done to her by scientists under the control of the military. This is another matter which would be best not considered by the courts, General."
"I take your point, sir. It may be that some sort of compensation to the alien child..." Bernhard interrupted, "Her name is Jenny, General, and she is a lovely little girl, born and brought up in the bosom of America, and so entitled to the protections of that nation, rather than being experimented on."
General Mackenzie was by now squirming with embarrassment. "Shall we say that Jenny should be equally considered, in the same way as her mother?"
"I think we are now talking the same language, General. And the discharge?"
"Done, sir. It is just a matter of paperwork. I shall ensure that Lieutenant Price leaves without a stain on her record."
"Excellent. I shall ask her to put her intentions on hold until we hear further from you, General. Farewell for now."
Once he had closed his call, Bob asked, "I only heard half the call, Bernhard. Where do we stand?"
"Pretty good, Bob. I think the General is going to come back with, as a minimum, a million dollars each for Esther and Jenny, and a good conduct discharge for Esther from the USAF. However, we shall see. That is a prediction, nothing more. It is not my decision to make." He remembered something, and said, "Excuse me, Bob." He found Esther again, and said, "Miss Price, I do believe that you will find you have left the USAF with a good conduct discharge. Before too long, I expect we shall hear something about compensation for both Jenny and yourself. We just wait until we hear definitely."
Esther came closer and kissed him gently on the lips. "Thank you, sir, for all your help. You didn't have to do this."
"My dear, if I didn't, I could not live with myself afterwards, and my wife would always remind me of my laxity. It was a pleasure to be able to help in a small way."
Charlie came forward also, and offered her hand in thanks. "Your assistance is very welcome, sir. It will not be forgotten. If I have a son, he shall be named Bernhard."
"Thank you, my dear Charlie. You intend to get the use of a man to father your child, then?"
"Either that, or artificial insemination, sir. We'll work something out, for we intend to be a family, as you have heard."
"Best of luck, anyway, Charlie."
He turned back to speak to the Governor.
"This Colony of yours, Bob, did you plan it to be as it is, or did it just happen?"
"A bit of both, Bernhard, a bit of both. Diane and I decided we should start off the settlement, and invited Ruth as well, but it was a case of one thing leading to another. We did come to the conclusion that minimal laws was a desirable state, with minimal legal complications as a consequence.
"Religion gets itself into such bother on Earth, with one religion hating another religion, or one lot condemning every other form of religion, so we felt that monotheism combined with love for one's fellows should be the main criteria for religious observance. That led us to form the Church of Rehome – also known as the Church of Love, with aspects of all the main religions incorporated, as long as these aspects were based on love. Our holy book is The Book of Love.
"We also decided that the economy should be based on hard work, rather than finance, so investment could only be family-type businesses, or financed by Rehome-based investors. Taxation is minimal as well. That is achieved by most of our government employees being direct service personnel, instead of pen-pushers; and the huge saving by not having armed forces to pay for. Instead, the Colony works on other forms of income, such as fees for weddings on Rehome by Earth couples, tourism, and exporting Rehome agricultural products. There is some business taxation but solely at low levels, and no income tax at all."
"I can see why your Colony attracts so many settlers, Governor."
"That is not quite all of it, sir. Every settler gets a land grant, to encourage farming and also establishing villages over a wide area. We expect to be in considerable surplus in agricultural products before long. With Earth's high cost agriculture, we expect to be able to export most of our surplus to Earth. Businesses are springing up everywhere, I am glad to say, so our economy seems to be growing satisfactorily."
Bernhard looked him over, wonderingly. "You never stop, do you, Governor? At every opportunity, you go on about the advantages of your colony. No matter. Bob, I shall be happy to recommend your Colony to people who want to better themselves with hard work."
There was a knock at the front door. Mother Narech went to investigate, prepared for every possibility from welcome to defence. She opened the door, and newspaper editor Tom Pfeiffer stood there.
"Mother Narech, my spies tell me that there is a story here. May I enter?"
"Please wait, Tom Pfeiffer. I shall summon the Governor." She turned her head and called in a loud voice, "Governor! Please come here."
Bob hurried to the door, wondering what had happened. Peering past the mechanoid Malan, he saw Tom waiting patiently.
"Tom! Like a bad penny, you keep turning up. I suppose you want a story?"
"Yes, please, Governor. My prospective new employer expects me to keep sharp. I am told that there is a special meeting for the children today."
Bob swung his head to look at the mechanoid, querulously. "Mother Narech? Did The Personalia have anything to do with this?"
She looked him in the eye, then said, "Is that a fair question, Governor? I am a mere minion, and surely cannot be privy to what my manufacturers are up to?"
Bob sighed. "I'll take that as a yes. Come in, Tom. I suspect some kind of publicity is acceptable. I will guide you on what we will allow."
"Yes, sir. That is fine. The Rehome News always cooperates with the Colony authorities."
Bob stopped, as he suddenly had another thought. "Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps the lady who is living with you passed it on, with getting so close to you ... perhaps it was both, for all I know and care."
"Yes, sir, whatever you say. Do I get to interview the participants?"
"Tom, what we have just had is the Malan children meeting their birth mothers from Earth, in the presence of myself and the Secretary-General of the United Nations."
"Wow. High-powered stuff indeed. So is it all about you, or does the other guy merit a "mention in despatches"?"
Bob laughed at his humour. "Tom, you may mention me in passing, but I want the Secretary-General to get top billing. We need the story to be extremely positive, and having him here as an observer backs that up. We want the ladies from Earth to be seen as the heroes, so write the story that way, will you?"
"Governor, as the new boss is one of these ladies, apart from being my fiancée, would I dare to do otherwise?"
"Oh, congratulations, Tom. Enid happy at the idea?"
"Indeed, sir. It was really her idea to begin with, but it grew on me. Jeannette is a wonderful, talented woman, and she knows how to treat a man!"
"Right. Enough bragging, Tom. The story: The birth mothers of the Malan children have all recently arrived on Rehome, courtesy of The Personalia, who located them and invited them to come and meet their Malan children. As far as the story is concerned, the ladies will become permanent residents of Rehome Colony. One is actually an undercover agent for a military organisation, and may return to her work, but I am not certain of that. There is always the possibility that she becomes resident here, and goes back to Earth for specific jobs that need her expertise."
Tom was looking a bit ambivalent. "Governor, I don't want Jeannette to get much publicity as a Malan mother, and you have an undercover agent who won't want to be identified. Is there any other awkwardness involved, that you know of?"
"Well, the fifth Malan mother was a serving officer, and had her Malan child with her. The Personalia did a more strenuous extraction than usual for her, but the Secretary-General and myself are working to sort that out, to make her a legal resident here, in the eyes of the Earth authorities. Another lady has transferred her business operation to another woman, but retains some capital back there, and another has left her husband, so probably doesn't want him to know where she is.
"So, having thought about it, we don't really want the ladies to be formally identified in your story. You could either use their given names, or call them Mother A, B, and so on. I'll leave you to say why they are not fully identified: possibly, to protect the Malan children, if the children go and live with their mothers? We have not got that point clarified yet. Perhaps it is time we did."
They had been talking in the vestibule, with the mechanoid standing mute, so Bob turned to her. "Mother Narech, is it the view of The Personalia that the children should remain together, or that they should live with their mothers?"
Narech responded at once. "There are two considerations, Governor. If the children remain living together, they will enhance the Malan background that we have developed, but will not be so good at integration with humanity. If they live with their human mothers, that will be good for integration, but not so helpful in maintaining their distinctiveness as Malans.
"Perhaps the solution is a combination of both. We could maintain this house as a Malan base, where the children visit regularly to work on Malan educational subjects; but become resident with their mothers, enhancing the bonding with the mother. In addition, should there be any problems in a human family situation, the child can return here for a break until the problem is sorted out. I will remain on duty here for any eventuality, and will be available to come to the child's family home if desired. Do you wish me to outline to the mothers and children this proposed pattern?"
Bob was grateful. "Mother Narech, that is an excellent suggestion. I shall leave you to it."
"I shall do that, Governor. By now, the children should be handing out the snacks and drinks to our visitors. Let us go in, and Tom Pfeiffer can circulate and collect his story data."
They re-entered the living room, where the children were busy distributing the drinks: tea or coffee for the adults, soft drinks for the children, and canapes for everyone. Jenny was noticeably cooperating with the other children in these tasks, following their lead, and they seemed to welcome her assistance.
Tom ignored the food and drink, refused all offers politely, and concentrated on gathering his stories. When he came to where Jeannette was chatting to Esme and Mary Kempe, Tom was grabbed by Jeannette, and introduced. "Girls, this is the man I am going to marry here: Tom Pfeiffer, local newsman. His wife, Enid, acted as matchmaker, and it worked. She is a wonderful girl, and I think we will be happy together as a threesome. What Usgar will think of having two mummies and one daddy, and a younger step-sister, we shall find out in due course. I love this man!" She plastered a kiss on Tom's lips. He did not know whether to be embarrassed or gratified, so he just smiled benignly.
Once Tom had completed his interviewing, he asked Jeannette if she was ready to come home. She said, "In a few minutes, dear. I have to say my goodbyes to the girls.
"Esther Price, welcome to the planet and Colony of Rehome. I am Robert Kempe, Governor of this Colony, and you and your daughter – Jenny I think your name is, young lady?" and he smiled down at Jenny, "You and your daughter – and your friend - are the guests of the Colony. Before I take you up to meet some special people, this man has to ask Mummy and Charlie a few questions." He bent down to the level of Jenny and said softly, "Only grown-ups get asked these things, Jenny, and certainly...
"Esther? Diane Kempe. Thank you for your assistance with that little problem on Earth. The Personalia were pleased with your advice. It worked out very well." "Thank you, Mrs Kempe. I was glad to help. It was good to know that my past experience had some value in a positive sense. I hope my old unit can now work more effectively in future." "That, I am sure of, thanks to your advice and The Personalia's actions. It has proved to me that your presence within our organisation can be...
"Now, the mothers:" said Bob Kempe. "The first one was formerly in the RAF, and is now a resident here, preparing to go into business with a partner. The second one is a woman with two human children, and is here without her husband, deliberately so. The third lady we found running a moneylending business in an ethical manner, and she has turned her business over to an ex-army woman like herself, so she has relocated to Metropolis. The fourth lady is in limbo at present. She is here to...
She turned back to Enid. "Enid, allow me to present Esme Limbada, moneylender to the masses at Albany, Georgia. Esme, this is Enid Pfeiffer, wife of our Colony newspaper editor, Tom. Tom and Enid have been instrumental in this affair." "Come in, Esme. Come in and meet Jeannette and Margo. We are having a girls giggle session at the moment." She dragged Esme into the front room, where two more ladies had stood up to welcome her. "Girls, This is another of the same: Esme Limbada. Esme,...
"Freda, what is your husband doing with this girl? Is he intending to marry her?" "Eh? How would I know? I haven't spoken with him. I don't really want to know what he is up to with her." "Oh. I see. It was just that ... if he actually wanted to marry her, he would have to get your approval, wouldn't he?" "My approval? Don't be daft, Margo! Why would I consent to that? I haven't even divorced him yet." "Divorce? How do you mean, Freda?" "Well, I haven't got around to...
"I don't remember ever doing a stock check, Brenda. It has always been controlled by software, I am sure. Perhaps a physical stock check ought to be a priority for now?" Ruth gestured at her phone. "I have a list of all the items found in Metro Discounts which we suspect came from your business. In addition, I have a list of these same identifiers which we have traced to manufacturers on Earth. That data says they were all purchased by Lownie Stores, which is why we are so sure about...
Enid expounded, "No, you misunderstand. Mother Narech is a mechanoid, built by the Personalia to look and act as a Malan mother, to give the babies instruction in a nurturing environment as close to the Malan norm as possible. If you imagine a robot made to look like a person, that is Mother Narech. She is semi-autonomous; connected all the time to The Personalia, but able to act independently. She is a lovely person, I am told, so don't think "robot", think "person". "The children...
"Good grief, girl, no. You surely have heard about foreplay? Stand up and show yourself, still in bra and panties, and invite him to come and kiss you, to fondle you, to run his hands all over your body, and then let him take off your undies. Make it a pleasure for him; a few soft gasps of pleasure from you, real or simulated, would also help, my dear. Allow him to run his hands over your breasts, and your pussy – I assume you bathed this morning – and let him excite your clit with his...
Bob Kempe pondered for a moment, then said, "Our former UN diplomat, Ebenezer de la Torre, may have some advice on who we approach. Allow me to speak to him before I make any suggestion." "That is acceptable. Proceed." Bob quickly keyed his phone for the de la Tore number. The phone was answered by Euphemia. "Hello? De la Torre Enterprises. How may I assist you?" "This is Governor Kempe. Is Ebenezer available to talk?" "I will get him, Governor. He is pricing an order, but that...
Karl knew that there was no official record kept of this child and its disposition, so he sought out people who should know what was what, and began asking questions. The first contact told him the zygote had come from medical scientists in the USA, and had been implanted in a military volunteer. To take it from there, he would have to speak to a specific US General. Getting the contact details from his contact, Karl phoned the General. He explained the duty that had been laid on him by the...
"Margo Ruiz?", said the voice on her phone. "Margo Aquino ... no you are right. Margo Ruiz. I no longer regard myself as married to that man." Thank you for identifying yourself. This is The Personalia. We think it is advisable that you transfer any financial assets to Rehome. Do you have any such assets that we can help you with?" "I have around a million dollars in US Treasury Bonds, registered in my name. I bought them through a broker five years ago, and I haven't touched...
"You ran your own business? I had the impression you worked for a bank on Earth!" "Not quite. I saved most of my pay during enlistment, so I had a basis for starting a business operation. I set myself up as a money-lender at reasonable rates, to be a benefit to the community I came from. I undercut all the commercial competition and became the lender of choice for practically everyone in the area. Once I could afford to branch out, I helped people to set up their own local businesses, and...
"We are The Personalia. We are contacting the mothers of Malan children. You gave birth to one about five years ago. We are offering to bring you to meet your child, in Rehome colony. The child would be interested to meet you." "Malan?" "Yes. The alien child you carried and birthed, but never saw." "How do you know about that? I never knew anything about my child." "We have access to much information; more than you might expect. There are records naming you as one of the mothers....
"That is so, Governor. Oh, I should mention that I have discussed my forthcoming marriage with the London University Vice-Chancellor by phone, and he understands that I could not commute to my job from another planet. He has accepted my resignation, and has waived the mandatory period of notice. I have to admit that I failed to mention to him that I have a new job lined up in the Colony. I thought that would be to much of a shock." "That was thoughtful, of you, Pro ... I mean, Jane. I...
Jeannette replied, "It is a compliment, actually, to find that someone thinks of me as a desirable woman. It doesn't happen often." Enid added, "Anyway, dear, you have my permission to ogle her. I get plenty of ogling from you, so she deserves a little attention. She is a nice woman." Tom was gobsmacked. Permission to admire another woman? This was unheard of. He wondered. "Enid, are you pregnant again?" "Why, Tom, how nice of you to notice! Yes, I am. How did you know?" "When...
"That lady who escorted you here – Ruth I think you said her name was; can she sign an affidavit that there was no such intent?" "I expect so. There were a group of ladies involved in getting me and the girls together. They called themselves Malan mothers." Mrs Mboya's eyebrows lifted. "Ah. So that is who that lady is; one of the five Malan mothers? Derek – what is your surname, boy?" "Dearden, ma'am." "Mr Dearden, you have struck lucky. These ladies recently became famous in...
He returned to the kitchen to report to Enid. He hoped his red face had calmed down. He entered and she looked at him querulously. "Yes, she said she would come." "And?" "What do you mean, 'And?'" "Did you kiss her goodnight?" "Yes." He said no more, but Enid was insistent. "Properly?" "Jeannette insisted. I tried to just do a gentle goodnight kiss, but she grabbed my head. God! I didn't mean to ... I just ... Sorry, Enid. I am messed up." "Fine." "What? How do...
The professor wanted to see the fish market and meet some fishermen, so Tom got permission from his boss – his wife - to escort her there and make the introductions. The market was simply an area next to the harbour, with a few stalls erected to protect the catches from the sunshine – on the days when it was sunny. Otherwise it was to shelter the fish from the drying winds from onshore. Tom explained that you had to time your visit correctly. If you arrived just as the fisherman came...
Esme rounded on her. "Marjory, girl, you have just GOT to tell us what that was all about! It sounded so weird, what you were saying, that we must know what the other end was. It sounded like your fella was on his knees!" Marjory started to tell her sad tale, about falling for her Derek, and making love with him, in the expectation that he was the love of her life and they would get married eventually. She had had a series of shocks. It was a shock to discover how unyielding her parents...
They concluded the call, then Esther opened her door again. The airman was leaning against the opposite wall, waiting for the phone. She offered the handset to him, saying, "Lawyers! They always want to do things the most complicated way. I am now told Jenny and I have to sign forms. I have told her that it will have to wait until I can travel again. Thanks for the phone, son." "You are welcome, ma'am. Lawyers get special treatment. I will wipe any record of the call, ma'am." Thank...
The US Army's Criminal Investigation Department was visited by a couple of sharp-suited gentlemen with official ID cards stating them as FBI agents. The Department staff, already prepared for any enquiries, let them in. "What can we do for the FBI, gentleman?" "We are looking for a Ruth Proctor. She appears to work for your department, though other records claim she was discharged from the army some time ago." The front man knew his task well. "Who did you say? Ruth...
He waited, then listened to a reply. "Right. Thank you. Please note that he is about to be arrested, so we don not want him leaving." He closed the call. "Thanks, Ruth, for reminding me. He will not be able to leave now. Now we just hav e to pick him up. Where will he be?" "This time of day? Probably heading out for his evening meal, either at home or in a restaurant. Do we know if he is married?" "The data we got for him does not mention any spouse, so presumably not," replied...
Fearn, if you would dispense the tea, and I pour the coffee, Nargo can assist with the milk jug. Right, girls?" Fearn and Nargo did a 'high five' and proceeded with their tasks, while the adults admired their dedication to these duties. As soon as the drinks were poured, Esme sent Nargo and Fearn to bring in the plates of scones, pancakes, and decorated cupcakes. Esme explained to her guests that while she had baked the scones last night, Fearn had done most of the pancakes and cupcakes...
"Good." Tom was emphatic about that. "We can talk with Enid before anything happens. She is my wife, and must have a full input into any such arrangement. Agreed?" She looked up with a small smile. "Agreed. I greatly admire Enid." They returned to Tom's office, where he had work to get dealt with. Jeannette thought she could work on her planning for the book publishing venture in his office. Tom's work would not distract her. Once she got absorbed in composing a document, she was...
"I expect you are correct. So that if the story appeared in your paper, that would be acceptable to the authorities here?" "Unfortunately, not so, lady. You would still be bound by the agreement you signed, as long as you remain within their boundaries." "Even though the events happened in the USA?" "I would expect that to be the case, Mrs Reagan. Anywhere on Earth, you are liable to be facing these restrictions. Most governments have reciprocal agreements over many similar matters....
He gave in to nature. "If you want, Jeannette." He moved his hands on to her body, moving them to her breasts above him, as she had lifted herself to facilitate her movement. She started grinding against him, putting pressure on her clitoris as she moved back and forth against him. Tom did his best to not seem too enthusiastic, but his body insisted in participating in the natural movement of a man and woman. He found himself grunting as he jerked up to speed up his plunging into...
"Indeed so, Margo. They are more reliable than any human I have met. They have a rigid sense of propriety, and stick to it. You may not realise it, but they are into big business on Earth, and are worth a fortune. For example, they run an audit service for most of the big companies, and are great at the job." Margo was suddenly interrupted by a store employee. "Pardon, ma'am, but you are causing a slight obstruction to other shoppers. Would you mind moving, please?" "Oh, sorry. I'll...
"Very well. You have a visitor visa for one month, renewable with a sponsor. Settler status merits permanent residence and a land grant." "Thank you." "You are welcome, ma'am." The man now turned to Tom with a smile of recognition. "Hi, Tom. Are you her escort?" "I am, Fred, for my sins. These two girls are her daughters: Anita is this one, and the baby is Carina." "Duly noted. Please escort them off the beach, Tom." "Come along, Margo. Hopefully someone is here to meet...
Margo looked up from encouraging Anita to feed herself. "Sure. Fine by me." Jeannette looked over from the sink, where she was washing breakfast dishes. "Visitors? Same ones as before?" "Yes. I think it could be interesting. You WILL stay for that, won't you, Jeannette?" Jeannette notice the tone, and replied. "Certainly. I shall be here. I can go to the bank afterwards." Margo looked up, keenness in her gaze. "The bank? Can I go with you, Jeannette? I have to arrange a change...
"I treat it as another small investment in the locale. That boy will probably turn into a businessman when he gets older. He knows where he can seek start-up capital, doesn't he?" "You mean he hangs around just to park your car for you?" "He has a cubbyhole in the foyer, and he sits and studies his school books, and does his homework there as well. That is part of the deal, so that he is educating himself. If he runs out of that material, he has a library card and can get something...
"Yes, I reckon I did say that." "You were quite correct in your analysis. The software did not have The Personalia identified as allies, so that the terms "alien" and "Personalia" set off the alarms. I have ordered a software upgrade, not just on this base, but everywhere that the same software is in use. Thank you again for your help with this, Colonel. Your restriction is of course immediately lifted." "Thank you, sir. I am most grateful for your quick attention to the...
He got back to Ian and told him what he had found. They decided that Dearden should be interviewed, smartish. They asked colleagues at Coventry to start with a preliminary interview, if he could be found at the university. He was located there, so the local police went and pulled him out of his class, and invited him, with some pressure, to the station for a recorded interview. He looked more puzzled than worried, at the start, but they refused to speak to him about possible accusations...
"I see. Then you should try Trevor Defreitas, CEO of Rehome Deliveries. He has recently become chairman of the Circle, so should know what's what, and where the bodies are buried." Taking that on board, Esme phoned Rehome Deliveries and asked for him, as Chair of Metropolis Business Circle. He was soon on the line. "What can we of the Business Circle do for you, Ma'am?" She said carefully, "We of the Bank of Rehome are considering a loan request from Mr Thomas Carson, a local...
"Miss Proctor, may I call you Ruth? I was under the apprehension that your talent lay in undercover situations. Your attire does not give that impression to me. Have you any explanation?" Ruth looked surprised. "Sorry, Madam. I was given to believe that this was a business meeting, to discuss a new task. I dressed accordingly. When it comes to my work, I will dress appropriately for that environment." "Ah. That is all right, then. I unfortunately assumed that this was your normal mode...
"Please explain what you mean by that, Esther." "If you can cause problems for his family members – brothers, cousins, parents, children, that will certainly impact on his effectiveness with his criminal activities. For example, if his children were being accused of unacceptable activities at school, they might be threatened with expulsion. He would be under pressure then. If a brother or sister was accused of stealing from their church funds, that would be effective. If any of his family...
"You may be right about us humans, but The Personalia have blossomed too. They have become more involved with Earth as time has gone on. They have adapted to capitalism with a vengeance. They own a number of business on Earth, and have almost entirely monopolised the audit sector of business: numbers are their forte, you see, and they have established a reputation for probity. I have heard rumours of them pursuing criminals and removing their stolen assets: much more effective than jailing...
Diane Kempe was looking through her staff lists, to see who was already engaged in important tasks. She hoped she could pull a few off less urgent duties, to help cover the coastline for sightings of the supposed reptile. Then her phone rang. Answering it, she was soon aware that the reptile was no longer ‘supposed’. It had been spotted. The sergeant conveyed the report. “Boss, Richard’s team have found it on the beach in a small bay fifteen miles from Metropolis. The beach is not much of a...
Life resumed its normality for a few days, then one morning Esme looked at the list of appointments for today, and saw the name "Thomas Craven" among them. She hastened to speak with her supervisor, anxious to not put her foot in it if there was any conflict of interest. She explained her concern. "Sir, this Thomas Craven may be a gentleman whom I have met socially. It is the name of my babysitter's father. If you can establish whether he was in hospital recently with a stroke, that...
McKayla knew she shouldn’t have been surprised, when she walked into Theo’s bungalow. Because he was living in a small town, she’d just been imagining him in a farmhouse - which, considering he was a professional landscaper, made no sense. But that wasn’t what surprised her the most - it was how familiar everything felt. After all, they’d lived together for fourteen months; a lot of Theo’s possessions felt like hers, and so walking into the small house he was renting was surprisingly like...
I had suspected my hubby had been a naughty boy. We had been swinging for years and had a lot of fun. A lot of filthy dirty fun.But we had one golden rule, we only played together. But I had seen his most recent visa bill and there was a charge for a hotel in Shawhead,several miles from home,that we hadnt used,and also a charge for Ann Summers. And Mork ( not real name obviously ) hadn't bought me sexy underwear in years.So he must have had a meet without me. I wasn't at all upset, I mean I had...
Hi readers, I am back with a bang to take the desires of a matured woman to the next level. It is all about the corporate life, the other side of the coin. This incident happened when Namitha, Anuska and I moved to an engineering college for campus recruitment. No doubt there were other members too; but we were the technical team. The college had already booked rooms in a 5-star hotel for different teams. I had to stay with them under a singe ceiling. I was a little hesitant to stay with two...
Mature"All farewells should be sudden" LORD BYRON "I'm free! And I'm waiting for you to follow me." THE WHO When Gina returned home from the airport she threw her bags down in the bedroom and collapsed on the bed. Why was travel so tiring when you spent most of the time just sitting in a cab or an plane, anyway? Yawning, she slowly sat up, undressed, and walked into the bathroom for a quick shower. While showering, Gina ran the warm water over her body. She fantasized about Lisa,...
March 21, 1992, Chicago, Illinois “You seem to be doing a good job with your new friends,” Jessica said as we walked to karate. “I think so, yes. Michelle will be here tomorrow for our usual Sunday afternoon chat, and I already told you about Gina.” “She just tries to wind you up with that stuff!” “Oh, I know,” I chuckled. “And I give as good as I get. I have plenty in reserve!” “What about your artist friend? The one you’ve adopted.” “You know how you girls say I give off a vibe? I’m...
“This your girl?” The man asked as he pushed a dozen photos across the desk. Marcy picked up the pictures and started to leaf through them, she had hired the P.I to look for an ex of hers Karmin Artellan. It had only really been to try and get some money back that Karmin had owed her when they broke up but when she had tried to find her herself she had found not only empty flats and deactivated phone numbers but a wall of silence from anyone she asked. At the time she had put it down to just...
Jesse was a bad-ass. Not just because he was a very attractive man, but because of his occupation. He’d risked his life every single day since he was six-teen years old and volunteering as a fire fighter. Now, all Grace knew about him was that he was a ruthless business owner and still pursuing his child hood dream of being a Navy SEAL. She still couldn’t believe he had actually made it. After their last ‘fling’ in high school she had given up on him as a total womanizer and an apathetic ass...
Audience tortureI have always turned on by the idea of being on show in front of an audience. And I have always fantasised about being punished in public - in English schools, including expensive private schools like mine, corporal punishment has long been banned and I have always regretted this. We have a school museum (it is that sort of really old, prestigious school), and there are various canes and paddles in the collection, as well as etchings of punishment scenarios. So one summer...
Matt dressed casually for his visit with Jason and Melinda. Blue Jeans and knit shirt. He wasn't really looking forward to seeing Jason or Melinda but since Jason was such an asshole he was going to make him sorry this time. He found the house easily enough. It was a big two story sit on three acres in an exclusive subdivision a couple of miles out of town. He had driven one of the leased trucks, just to keep the perception that he was only a working stiff. Matt rang the doorbell and saw a...
STORY OF CHARLIE I checked in the full length hall mirror before leaving the house. I was more than happy with the way I look. I locked the front door and strolled down the drive to my car, I got in and backed out of the driveway, no need to change my shoes, these are only three inch heels. As I drive to the railway station to catch my train to London. I smiled to myself realizing how much enjoyment I now get out of life. I am wearing a simple navy three quarter sleeve jersey dress,...
It definitely wasn’t every day that one fucked one’s own mother, let alone on a hide-a-bed, while on film and being watched by one’s own father in the process. I had to say, I was already aroused to be boning Mom, but soon after Aaron ate her and the ladies out, and so close to when Dad was going to screw Natalie, it was a whole different ball game. I could feel her slick, wet, hot pussy surround my thick, hard cock and it was a whole new level of taboo delight! I also knew that Aaron would...
Flash forward by 3 months. I was in a car headed to Lonavala, in an extremely short white crop-top showing just a hint of my bra strap. They had me wear a white bra (quite a lacy one). Down below I was told to wear the same G-string panties. This time somehow they had convinced me to wear (very short!) denim shorts which showed my legs entirely. I was sitting between two of my students. Both of them had their arms around me and had pulled me close. My boobs gently pressing on the side of their...
George Foster was determined to make this evening memorable. It wouldn’t be his final night with Sylvia, physically at least. It would be their final after-school evening, and he had run out of excuses. He would have to tell her tomorrow that he had decided to take the job in Canada. It wouldn’t be their last night in the same apartment, their last night in the same bed. It probably wouldn’t even end their sex together. Sylvia enjoyed that as much as he did, and it wasn’t as if he was...
Brock found playing left field behind a ground-ball pitcher like Udo Jergens to be one of the least interesting things he'd ever done in his life. He didn't have a ball hit to him in the first five innings. In fact, he barely moved at all. He jogged forward a couple of times to back up grounders in the infield and moved to his left a couple of times on fly balls to the other outfielders. But mostly, he stood there. His highlight of the first half of the game was getting to play catch with...
"This year. This is the year." Julia thought to herself as she tied her shoes. The 18 year old senior had failed to make the basketball team for the last three years but had worked… "This year. This is the year." Julia thought to herself as she tied her shoes. The 18 year old senior had failed to make the basketball team for the last three years but had worked hard all year, lost some weight, and was incredibly confident that she would make it this year. Although she was still on the...
HardcoreOk, so I'm a middle aged pervert. :)I've had a "thing" for my neighbour since my early teens.She is about 15 years my senior, and has always been part of my masturbation therapy.They (she and her husband) have lived beside me (100 metres) for over 30 years.Over the last 12 months, I have become more interested in Sandy (not real name), not really sure why, but that's that.Sandy is about 65 years old, a little over weight, but has HUGE boobs.Of a morning, they have a ritual which involves...
I slept a really long time, something like three and a half days went by before I opened my eyes just to see the familiar white glowing ceiling. This wasn't really a shock to me. After waking up so many times inside one of those cells, it almost was comforting to know something hadn't changed in the world. I heard someone move to the right of me, then was surprised to find Penny walking up to me, still nude, but obviously was herself and not the slave she had been. "Are you all right?"...
I reached down to help the gorgeous woman to her feet. As we walked from the room, she asked, “What is your name, my lord?” “My name is Shaun Kaughman, and my mate is the otter beast-man Petarina Lontra. Please don’t call me lord. It makes me uncomfortable. Also, you’re free now, so you don’t have to serve anyone,” was my reply. I noticed the women had found clothes to wear in the guard room when we arrived. I was happily surprised Petra found her armor and katars in a chest. She gave me a...
I don’t mind telling you that I was excited. It was my eighteenth birthday and my first trip to an adult movie theater. When I’d moved across the lobby and walked into the darkened theater the smell had been overwhelming. The pungent aroma of sex was thick in the air. The room reeked of the quasi-chlorine smell of cum, cigarettes, sweat and the pungent ammonia smell of piss. As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I crept down the aisle like a thief in the night and grabbed a seat. I was awestruck...
Gay MaleI must confess that I had always fancied him. Mr Smart was my maths teacher, and in my all-girls high school he was very popular. This was partly because he was always relaxed and casual with us older students, but mainly because he was just so hot! He stood just over 6 foot tall with a slim, athletic build. He had a dark brown mop of hair with a long fringe. It brushed the top of his startlingly long eyelashes which framed a pair of brilliant blue eyes. What made him even more tempting was...
